Danma: Danganronpa, but Monster Hunter!

Well, I can't say, because if I bring it up, he'll start crying again.

See? He actually has to thank us.

Lieyan chuckled, but he wasn't interested in playing with short video memes at this point. He took two steps back and plopped down on the ground. Just then, Ais, who had been engaged in a high-intensity battle with the two for four hours, also walked over.

After this training session, Ais was fully warmed up, her face flushed, and a few drops of sweat adorned her pretty face like dewdrops on flower petals, making her look incredibly cute.

"Flame, are you not going to continue training?"

"Well, that's enough for today. We've used up almost all the potions." Flame glanced at the backpack, which now only contained two wrappings, and the pile of glass bottles beside it. He had used up all the potions he brought to the dungeon.

Upon hearing this, Bell immediately felt uneasy, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

after all..........

At least three-quarters of those piled-up glass bottles were his creations..........

"In that case, shall we go to the twenty-fourth floor next?" Ais asked quickly, as if she had just thought of something.

"Why does it have to be twenty-four floors?" Flame blinked.

The 24th floor—wasn't that the place where the monsters were said to have multiplied, but the final investigation revealed it was man-made? Speaking of which, he and Ais reported the 24th floor to the guild yesterday, so why hasn't the guild made a move yet? There can't possibly be some kind of information suppression thing in another world, right?

"Because there are more monsters on the 24th floor."

Ais reminisced about the battle she had fought on the 24th floor. She had fought to her heart's content that time. Although the quality of the enemy was not as good as some of the deeper dungeons, the quantity was more than enough.

Got it, he's addicted to mowing lawns.

Men, bring out Dynasty Warriors!

"Let's forget about it for now. The 24th floor isn't suitable. If we're going to go, we might as well go to the 23rd or 22nd floor." Lieyan shook his head: "There's no news about the 24th floor yet, so let's not rush to go there."

At this moment, Bell, who was quietly recovering his strength, curiously chimed in with a comment.

"The 24th floor... Miss Ais and Mr. Flame, are you referring to the matter Miss Eina requested the day before yesterday?"

"Yes, it's that matter. Ais and I have completed the investigation and reported it to the guild. We're just waiting for the guild's response." Flame shrugged. "I wonder what kind of mess the guild will make."

"Perhaps a decision has already been made, and they're just arranging who will be commissioned," Ais replied softly.

"I hope."

The conversation after the training didn't last long. Once all three had fully recovered their strength, they parted ways. Flame and Ais went to the 22nd floor to hunt for magic stones, while Bell stayed on the 9th floor, preparing to hone his newly acquired knowledge using the monsters there.

By the time Flame and Ais emerged from the dungeon, it was already evening.

Looking at the sky, this time, the two did not choose to go to the bountiful hostess to win a free meal, but instead went straight back to the Loki Familia. Just then, the dinner bell rang.

They arrived together in the grand dining room, where Finn gently waved to them from a long table.

"I have something to tell you about the grain storage on the twenty-fourth floor."

Chapter 135: The Hermesian Familia

"The matter concerning the 24th floor... was it a commission issued by the guild?"

Flame, who sat down in front of Finn, raised an eyebrow, but he wasn't too surprised.

It's been almost two days since the incident on the 24th floor was reported. Thinking about it carefully, it's indeed time to give a reply. If we keep dragging it out, things might get too late.

It has to be said that the guild's efficiency is indeed a bit low.

The purity is too low.

“Yes, indeed, the guild has issued a special request,” Finn nodded, slowly putting a portion of his dinner into his mouth.

"As for who was chosen, let me guess. If nothing unexpected happens, the guild should have only chosen us. After all, Ais and I are the first parties involved, and the strength of the Familia is sufficient to handle it."

"No, actually the guild nominated two clans this time, one is us, and the other is the Hermes clan," Finn replied with a smile, shaking his finger.

"The Hermesian Familia?"

Upon hearing this name, an image of a handsome young man wearing a cowboy hat gradually appeared in Lieyan's mind.

If he remembered correctly, this guy seemed to be Bale's number one fan, and a real troublemaker. Most of the dangers Bale had faced were actually related to this guy.

Simply put, this guy is an even worse entertainer than Loki.

However, although the chief god of the Hermes Familia is quite wicked, the members of the Hermes Familia are reliable in many ways, especially their leader.

Asif Al Andromeda.

This bespectacled girl with light blue hair is one of the few individuals in Orario to possess the [Mysterious] development ability. Known as the [All-rounder], she has invented countless convenient items, making a significant contribution to exploring dungeons.

Incidentally, this information was not unearthed from Flame's memories, but rather came from the guild's data.

Although the guild is not very efficient in its work, it is still capable of gathering information on adventurers.

It's just that it's hard to distinguish between true and false (laughs).

“That’s right, it’s the Hermes Familia.” Finn nodded again to confirm. “However, the Hermes Familia is different from us. The guild directly named [All-Powerful] Asphi Al Andromeda and [Mud Dog] Lulune Louis as assistants for this mission.”

"The Omnipotent One and the Mud Dog..." Flame blinked. "I can understand the Omnipotent One, but how was that Mud Dog chosen?"

“Mud Dog is one of the top map-drawing experts in the city. The guild probably included her in the support staff because they were considering that the terrain of the dungeon sealed off by the flesh wall would change later. Speaking of which, we met her once before.” Finn also showed an interested expression: “Back in Rivera Town, Ais should remember this, right?”

“Hmm.” Ais nodded. When they were searching, this mud dog ran away, but they caught him red-handed. And with the series of events that followed, she had a deep impression of him.

However, I didn't expect that the other party was actually a map-making expert.

A hint of shock flashed in Ais's eyes.

"I see. There must be a reason for being named then." Flame stroked his chin.

There aren't many adventurers in Orario who can draw maps; most adventurers survive by relying on dungeon maps released by their guilds.

Compared to the rough maps hand-drawn by adventurers, the floor maps that guilds have accumulated over countless years contain more comprehensive and accurate information. In addition, since ordinary adventurers have no chance to access the more divine floors, the decline of map-drawing skills was to be expected.

To be honest, it's quite rare to suddenly find someone who can draw maps.

It seems the guild has put a lot of thought into the possible scenarios.

Okay, forgive you for spending the whole day in meetings. At least you produced a useful list.

“By the way, Flame.” Finn turned to Flame as if he remembered something, “Regarding your equipment, the Hermes Familia is not currently on my list of plans, so you’d better try to hide your equipment as much as possible. The Omnipotent One might notice something about you.”

"I see..." Blazing Flame pondered for a moment, "I understand, then I won't wear armor tomorrow..."

"No, please don't do that."

Before Flame could finish speaking, Finn shook his head and interrupted him, saying seriously, "You can't be careless with your equipment. Your safety is more important than secrets. I'd rather the Omnipotent discover something about your equipment than have you get injured because you're not wearing armor."

"Okay, but I'll just have to do less."

After thinking it over carefully, Lieyan felt there shouldn't be any problems, so he nodded in agreement.

"It's best not to make a move, but of course, that's probably unlikely for you, Flame." Finn glanced at Flame's physique with a hint of helplessness.

"That depends on my teammates," Lieyan laughed. "If I have enough teammates, it doesn't matter whether I take action or not. By the way, speaking of which, who's on our team?"

To be honest, Lieyan was quite curious about his team's lineup.

“We decide who will participate in the commission ourselves, and there’s no limit to the number. The guild’s suggestion is that you and Ais should also be part of the team. What do you think?” Finn chuckled, his words revealing a strong sense of confidence.

"I'm fine, and it seems like Ais is fine too." Flame turned to look at Ais beside him, whose eyes were full of fighting spirit, and then curled his lips.

Ever since being defeated by the red-haired female beast tamer, Ais had been determined to fight her again when they met. Now that she had leveled up to LV6, matching her opponent in level and making rapid progress in strength, her fighting spirit had only intensified.

"Alright, it's settled then. The meeting time is 8:00 AM tomorrow at Babel Tower Square. Besides you, Bert and Lefia will also be there. Riveria will be coming with you this time. I've already notified the three of them, and they should be preparing the equipment and items they need to explore the dungeon now."

Finn didn't waste any words and put the matter to rest. Following his voice, Flame looked around and found that, just as Finn had said, Bert, who usually ate in the corner, and Lefia, who usually ate with Ais and the Amazon sisters, were not in the restaurant at this time.

It seems I was the last to find out about this, but it doesn't matter.

That said, is this lineup for real? Isn't it a bit too luxurious?

Leaving aside the two Hermes Familia members, the Loki Familia alone deployed two Level 6 members, one Level 5 member, and two others whose firepower and strength surpassed their current rank.

This lineup would be more than capable of thriving in deeper dungeons, let alone the food depot on the 24th floor.

Simply put, it's just one word.

Firepower coverage!!

What? That's four characters? It's okay, none of that matters.

The important thing is that the enemy's expression when they see this lineup will definitely be very interesting.

Flame could already imagine the look of astonishment on the enemy's face when they faced this team.

With a sigh in his heart, Lieyan lowered his head and quickened his eating pace, anticipating the possible expressions on the enemy's face the next day.

After a quick dinner, and after greeting Finn, who was wrestling with the giant grilled fish in front of him, Flame didn't return to his room. Instead, he turned and left the Familia. He needed to tell Bell that tomorrow's training was canceled.

However, he didn't know where Blaze lived. Although he knew it was in the basement of an abandoned church, the location of that church was quite remote compared to the Loki Familia. Blaze was too lazy to look for it. Knowing an easier way, he went directly to the guild headquarters, which was not far from the Loki Familia's residence. After telling Eina, who was on duty, the matter was settled.

The next day.

The morning breeze encircles the city, and the sun's rays radiate from behind the rosy dawn, a thousand streaks of light, a dazzling display of brilliance.

On the plaza surrounding the towering giant tower in the very center of the labyrinth city, the teams of the two clans met.

"【Nine Demon Princesses】, 【Sword Princess】, 【Fierce Wolf】, 【Thousand Fairy】... The Loki Familia really has a lot of influence..." A beautiful woman with short, light blue hair pushed up her silver-rimmed glasses, looking at the team in front of her, and exclaimed from the bottom of her heart.

Beside her stood Lulune, a black-haired, brown-skinned dog-human. Her eyes lit up when she saw Ais in the group, her tail wagged happily twice, and she smiled broadly.

Ais seemed to notice the goodwill emanating from the other person, and nodded slightly to her, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

"It's mainly because we value this commission highly, and it's not just because of the guild."

The heroine, Rivera, who hadn't appeared for a long time, glanced with her emerald eyes at Lefia, who looked bewildered and nervously gripped her staff. Just as she was about to say something more, the werewolf Bert impatiently interrupted her.

"Stop talking nonsense, old woman. Just hurry up and get to that place, and tear all the enemies to shreds quickly."

Old woman...

A vein bulged on Rivera's forehead, and she felt an urge to smash her staff into the head of this werewolf who couldn't speak properly.

She's not old at all!! She's still very young!!

However, for the sake of the bigger picture, she suppressed the impulse and simply made a mental note.
